FEATURED SPEAKERS
David Zach | Futurist​
The Future of Work: Less Artificial, More Intelligence | As AI and automation dramatically change the way we work, we need to dig a little deeper into the choices we’re making about all these innovations. Will we come to regret embracing some of these fancy predictions about the new and improved future for design, architecture and planning? In this fascinating and fun keynote presentation, David Zach sparks the day’s conversations on how our designs today can build a more interesting future.
